Alongside free hot dogs, popcorn and a hill on which to view the fireworks display, Galilee Baptist Church will have something more to offer those who visit on the Fourth of July.

"Journey Though America's Heritage" is a display put up by the couple, Dick and Sue Rehg, to educate visitors about their views on the biblical nature of the country's founding, with guided tours, costumes and replicas of items and documents from the 1700s.

"My wife and I have been very interested in studying our biblical American heritage for a number of years. We've put together displays and presentations from the founding of the country," Dick said.

"No matter where you go to regarding our founding, there seems to be a biblical foundation that doesn't seem to be taught anymore."

The Rehgs are members of the church and are the founders of RALY, Reviving America's Legacy, whose mission statement is "Inspired by America's Godly heritage, we will equip and mobilize the Church to impact the public square for God's glory."

The display will be available to the public from 5 to 8:30 p.m., or until the Loveland fireworks display begins, at the church, 2525 Van Buren Court.

Free hot dogs will be available at 5-7 p.m. along with beverages, music and children's activities.
